Volunteer travel holidays in PeruTours & holidays in 2019 & 2020

The name "Peru" conjures up images of jagged mountain peaks circled by condors, mysterious Nazca lines, sacred Lake Titicaca and its Aymara-inhabited floating islands, and one of the continent's biggest draws: Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail. It's easy to view Peru holidays as a voyage into the lost Inca kingdom of the Andes, whose modern inhabitants - the Quechua - are living descendants of its pre-colonial past. But don't underestimate Peru's diversity.

Memorable parts?
Getting to spend time walking through the jungle and seeing so many great animals and birds. The best moments were the tree frogs, manu poison frog and the rainbow boa! I really enjoyed the construction of the bird hides and biogarden even though sometimes it was really hard work! Pancakes for breakfast were great!
Tips?
There was a lot of walking and physical activity so itís really important to expect to do lots when you get there and probably need reasonable fitness!
